Beatrice's eyes widened in disbelief. "Did you just say the Ironclad Mafia?" She said as she stared at Ricardo, her shock evident on her face, which caused Ricardo to nod at her question
"Yes, Beatrix. The Ironclad Mafia is responsible for my sister's death. Her boyfriend was in the wrong place at the wrong time and saw something he shouldn't have, so they had to get rid of them.""Please tell me you're joking," Beatrix asked as a fear laced her voice.Ricardo's face contorted with pain as he replied, "I wish I was, but I'm not. They're the reason my sister and her boyfriend are dead. Those guys didn't even lose any sleep after killing two kids. ""Ricardo," Beatrix began, her voice gentle but firm, "you have to understand how dangerous it is to go up against the Ironclad Mafia. They've controlled this city for decades, and they won't hesitate to eliminate threats, which you are.""I know the risks, Bea, but I can't let them get away with it. They've destroyed my life, and I can't just stand by." Ricardo said, and you could actually hear the pain in his toneBeatrix reached for his hand, her fingers trembling as she held onto his "I admire your determination and your love for your sister that you're willing to do anything to get revenge, but we have to be realistic. They have power, money, and connections beyond our wildest imagination. Confronting them head-on is like walking into a lion's den with a toy gun."Ricardo withdrew his hand, his frustration evident on his face. "So, what do you suggest, Bea? Should I just let them go free after what they've done to us? Should I ignore the pain they've caused for months?"Tears welled up in Beatrice's eyes as she moved closer to him. "No, never that. But there must be another way, a safer way. You can't face them without a plan. We need evidence or a legal approach. Rushing into this will only put you in grave danger.""I have a plan, so don't worry," Ricardo said"But -" Beatrix tried to say, but Ricardo interrupted her."Please Beatrix if you are going to talk me out of getting revenge it's best you leave now" Ricardo begged as he tried to move away from her but Beatrix held him in place as their gazes met"I'm not trying to talk you out of it, it's just that I wanted to know if you've thought this through and are very sure you want to do it, I will not stand in your way because God knows they deserve it" Beatrix commented."Yes, I've thought about it, and nothing is going to change my mind," Ricardo said"Then it's settled. We're going to take down one of the biggest Mafia this country has ever known.""We?" Ricardo asked"Yes. Duh! Did you think I was going to let you do this alone? " Beatrix said as a huge grin formed on her face"Beatrix, we are not doing anything. You, on the other hand, are going to go back home and behave like this conversation didn't happen," Ricardo said as he stared at her with a worried expression"You don't tell me what to do," Beatrix scoffed as she stood to her feet, walking to the other side of the room"Beatrix we are not talking about this, you're not helping me with this, because if you get hurt then won't be able to forgive myself, I even took a risk telling you the truth, I blame the alcohol" Ricardo explained as he also got on his feet"I'm helping you with this, and it's settled," Beatrix argued."No, you're not. You're going to return home and forget everything you heard today," Ricardo asserted."Not going to happen," replied Beatrix firmly."Beatrice, stop being stubborn. You're not assisting me," Ricardo implored."We can keep arguing about this until daybreak, and you still won't change my mind," Beatrix added resolutely."Why are you so determined to help me?" Ricardo inquired."Because you're my friend, and friends support each other," Beatrix responded."First, we're not friends, and second, friends usually don't help each other take down an evil organization," Ricardo commented."You don't know that because you don't have friends," Beatrix countered."Go away, you're not helping me," Ricardo insisted."I'm going to stay here until you agree," Beatrix declared with unwavering determination.Ricardo sighed, realizing that Beatrix wasn't going to give up easily. He paced back and forth, deep in thought, while Beatrix stood her ground, determined to make him see reason and accept her help so they could bring down the ironclad mafia togetherAfter a few moments of silence, Ricardo finally spoke, his tone softer, "Beatrix, you don't understand the dangers involved in this. It's not just my life at risk; it's yours too."Beatrix crossed her arms, unfazed. "I know the risks, Ricardo. But I also know that we can make a difference if we do it together."Ricardo gazed at Beatrice, his expression conflicted. "You're unbelievably stubborn, you know."Beatrix responded with a warm smile. "That's what friends are for.""I'll consider it, but for now, you really should head back home. It's getting late.""I don't want to," Beatrix protested."Come on, Bea, don't act like a child," Ricardo urged."Are you seriously going to let me go home at this hour?" Beatrix questioned, concern evident in her tone. "It's so late. What if something happens?""You won't get attacked," Ricardo reassured her as he felt his irritation growing."How can you be so certain?" Beatrix pressed."You won't get attacked but I will walk you to the bus if you're feeling uneasy about going alone," Ricardo offered, but Beatrix remained resolute."I'm not leaving," she declared."What did I do to deserve this?" Ricardo muttered to himself as his gaze landed on Beatrix. "Fine, you can stay, but you'll have to leave first thing tomorrow morning."Beatrix nodded. "Okay, I've got no problem with that," she replied with a sly smile.As the day came to an end, little did they know that their fates were about to take an unexpected turn.Beatrix's POV:“Bea!”“Beatrix!”“Wait! Where are you going?” Roxy and Daria started following me and firing me with questions. I am still bubbling with anger and hurt.I am being an emotional fool right now. I need to have control over my emotions.“I am going to the martial arts center to let off some steam.” I informed them before leaving the big-ass mansion. They stopped following me, to which I am thankful because I don't know what I will do in my rage.I shouldn't have lashed out on Ricardo like that in front of everyone, but I am hurt by his indifference and arrogance. I am mixing personal and professional, and it's not good.My car is parked in the driveway. I retrieved the keys and unlocked the door, wanting to run as fast as I can from him. I was doing good when I was an unfeeling bitch, but now when all the emotions and feelings are pouring in, I feel like I am going to burst with them.I reversed the car and drove towards Sensei Tanaka’s Martial Arts studio, where I was a
Beatrix walked towards her home, stomping her heart and threatening it to stop aching, but it's a stubborn one like her.Once she reached her home, she unlocked the door with the key she had stuffed in her jean pocket and entered to an empty living room.When she left for the vacation, her house was equipped with everything, but right now the room is barren, no couch, no television, nothing.“What the fuck!” she growled, half shocked and half irritated as she started to put the pieces together about what had happened and what was going to happen.She retrieved her phone and dialed Roxy’s number, waiting impatiently and pacing the empty living room.“How dare he touch my home without my permission.”“Ugh! I'm gonna beat the shit and arrogance out of him.” She was barely concealing her anger, her body thumping wildly, wanting it out and pummeling someone or something.“Hey! Bea! Where are you?” Daria’s voice filled Bea’s ears. Some of her anger washed away at the innocent and sweet voic
Beatrix's POV:“Tsk, tsk. Assumptions, assumptions,” Ricardo taunted, thrusting his clothed groin into my weeping core, making me forget everything and just focus on the pleasure he is giving me.“Shut up!” I pulled his hair once again, all the control I had on my body and senses vanished. He made me forget everything, and that's dangerous for me, but I am a sucker for heartbreak and punishment.I bit his neck, earning a growl from him, and his thrusts picked up speed. His body was trembling for a release, and mine was needily pushing into him like a wanton.“Do that again, and you will be fucked on the floor right here, baby!” Like me, he lost all control. His eyes were shining with fire, ready to burn me, and his arms tightened around me.We both are fire, ready to burn each other and burn in each other's fire.I bit his neck again, too tempted to pass up the opportunity to see his beast side and get ravaged by him.A groan left his throat, and I'm on the floor instantly, and he was
“Finally!” Beatrix hollered, rolling her eyes when Ricardo came outside wearing a similar biker jacket and holding two helmets in his hands.“Is it really necessary?” She asked, narrowing her eyes and shooting glares his way so he can feel she is pissed off by his rudeness.“Yes, if you don't want your empty head to burst like a coconut then we need these helmets,” Ricardo said, putting the helmet on her head like she is a child throwing a tantrum.“I was not talking about the helmet. I was talking about how you rudely insulted me in front of everyone,” she huffed before moving away from him and folding her arms like a real brat.“I didn't insult you, I just stated the fact and ordered with the authority of your boss,” Beatrix scoffed at his words, tapping her foot impatiently on the ground.“Whatever! I'm tired, I need to go home and sleep,” a chuckle resonated around her, making her head turn towards Ricardo who had a smirk on his lips.“What's that smirk for?” She asked. He was get
Beatrix, Roxy, Karl, and Daria went to town for lunch, leaving Ricardo and Rob behind at the beach house as they were busy discussing business.Beatrix was still bubbling with anger and rage at what she had seen, and she only knew how she had held herself back from thrashing them both.“Why are you still sulking, Bea?” Roxy asked, twirling the straw from her drink and scowling at Beatrix.“I am not sulking! You clearly need to get your eyes checked,” Beatrix huffed, stuffing her face with chips to avoid lashing out at Roxy or blurting out something she didn't want to.“Whatever! You need to chill, Bea! Men are all the same, they are dogs,” Roxy said, glaring at Karl, who narrowed his eyes at her. Whatever had happened between them last night didn't leave any impression on their hatred for each other, and there was a lot of energy buzzing around them.“Seriously! Don't get me started, Pixie!” Karl growled, ready to flip the table they were currently occupying. The four of them came to
THIRD POV: Ricardo's jaw clenched so hard and he could feel the tension and anger bubbling inside him. How dare she insult him like that!She was not complaining about anything when he was inside her and giving her orgasms. “ Ric! Can we go to your room?” Sydney’s voice grated on Ricardo's nerves making him breathe through the nose so he wouldn't snap on her.“ I Am a bit busy right now. See you later.” He left the kitchen looking for the vixen who just insulted him and had been a brat. Once he will find her, he will show her how much she will be in trouble for sassing.He could hear the music coming from her room so he increased his pace towards it and opened the door.Beatrix was blasting a song and dancing to it, precisely exercising. The anger that was visible on her face was turning on Ricardo so much that he had to adjust his hard-on. He leaned on the door with his arms crossed looking at the angry vixen who was trying so hard to release the pent-up anger.“ I know another wa
